Once
harvesting begins, time is of the essence as the seaweeds are carefully
harvested, bundled into thousand pound loads and delivered to dedicated
SOURCE MAINE plant manager Gavin Hood for processing. From sea to
seaweed meal takes substantially less than 24 hours. The seaweeds
are never summarily dumped in bulk into large trucks for hauling,
Domizi notes. Handled that way, they would begin to heat up and
compost, making them good for little more than fertilizer. Like
making good hay, she points out, post-harvesting handling and timing
is everything. |
 Once
at the plant, these bundles the weight of a horse are hung in overhead
racks. Strict controls during the dehydration process ensure minimal
loss of nutrients. The seaweeds are then ground into a fine meal and
packed in bags that resemble huge wheels of green cheese. They are
shipped to the North Branford plant where different ingredients are
formulated into the unique SOURCE blend and packaged for distribution.

| All the ingredients in SOURCE are subjected to extensive independent laboratory testing to assure their exceptional quality. Every container can be traced to the batch it came from, and every seaweed ingredient in every batch can be traced back through processing to its harvest. |
